The Ex-Factor

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

I thought spring was supposed to be the season when animals and people get all twitterpated. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and romance/the instinctual need to procreate is in the air. But it seems like this year autumn is giving spring a run for its money. First it was my sister. Then I noticed a whole slew of single Facebook friends dropping like flies.

Arr, schwab the decks!

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

It's funny. In the past year I've graduated, spent a couple of months traveling all over Europe, moved to London to work for six months, but now that I'm back in Florida it feels like I'm ... [Continue reading this entry]

The Fam – his and mine

Friday, December 16th, 2005
Ever since I left my erstwhile home in Wimbledon and moved to Acton, I haven't experienced any semblance of a typical "family" life. Well, I guess Kelly and I do make dinner together from time to time and sit around ... [Continue reading this entry]

Beachside in December

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005
As a Floridian, I'm used to it being hot in December. Wearing shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops on Christmas day wouldn't be surprising at all. This year my December got off to the best start ever...on the beach in the Canary ... [Continue reading this entry]

There’s a monster in the garden

Thursday, November 17th, 2005
There is something very strange going on in Acton. Several nights now I've heard strange noises outside my window very late at night. One night recently I was woken up by someone making a noise as if they were calling ... [Continue reading this entry]

‘Tis the season for fireworks!

Monday, November 7th, 2005
While Halloween is tied as my second favorite holiday ever normally, I have to say, it pretty much just sucks here in the UK. Back home we do it right with decorations, costumes, candy, spooky music, and haunted houses. Here, ... [Continue reading this entry]

Ahoy there, mateys!

Monday, October 17th, 2005
British people love fancy dress...they just love it. If there's a birthday or a sporting victory to celebrate, what better way than by dressing up as cops and robbers or doctors and nurses? When I came to study in the ... [Continue reading this entry]
